The futon critic is reporting that NBC has renewed Las Vegas for a fifth season. I guess we can count out a Brenda return in the form of Vanessa Marcil, at least for another year.

A few weeks ago, I would have bet that LV would get cancelled but the last 2 episodes were pretty good. NBC needs all the hits it can have. I'm just surprised that NBC renewed it since they are...you know, somewhat retarded.

If LV would have gotten cancelled, I bet ABC wouldn't only get her back on GH but they would have changed the entire concept of Night Shift so Brenda could be in it.

I just hope GH doesn't recast. VM is Brenda.

Somehow I could see GH recasting Brenda, and then ditching her as soon as Vanessa became available. Don't know why, but I could.

Aussiello at tvguide just broke news that James Caan and Nikki Cox wont be back next season! Too bad they didnt can Vanessa! Come home, Brenda! I watched this show its first season and still catch it from time to time, but its not the must see it used to be. I was surprised it was renewed, it must do well in the demo.

Las Vegas has done extremely well in the demos. It was #1 for seasons 1 and 2. I'm not sure since the move to Friday nights. James Caan leaving is pretty bad.

You have gotta be kidding me. Caan not back? Cox out?

WHAT DRUGS ARE THEY ON?

That blows.

I love Mike, Delinda, Sam and Danny but they can't run the entire show, IMO.

Losing Cox isn't that big of a deal, although they wasted her, IMO and her character.

Wow.

I'm shocked.

According to EW, Nikki Cox was fired. James Cann is leaving because he wants to go back to doing movies. And I am sure they will bring on new characters. I don't believe those four staying will be left holding the bag.

This is why I wish they didn't kill Casey. They could have brought him back to cause trouble for Sam and pair him up with Nikki Cox's Mary. Oh well, too bad there was an actual autopsy but then again they could claim Casey faked his death to go into hiding. The reason why Dean Cain didn't come back was because he wanted more money...with James Caan gone they have money now...even if they wanted a full 22 episode season.

I am glad Las Vegas is back (such a good, underrated show), but I just hope they don't go and recast Brenda. WAIT for Marcil, cos when LV is done, I think she would be back.

I do hate seeing Nikki Fox being fired, I really like her and loved Nikki!! Plus, Danny and Mary were always my favorite couple.

It really isn't going to be the same without James Cann to be honest. Cann leaving is news to me.

It wouldn't be the first time they've done something like that. The Nik recast got kicked to the curb pretty quick when Tyler wanted back.

Vanessa always said she never wants to see another actress plays Brenda (I remember reading that yrs ago)
